I liked it. Are you planning on re-recording it sober or is the sloppiness part of the sound y'all are going for? If so I don't think that would really detract too much form this style so it would probably work either way.

That second recording is even better! Wow, really loving that. I can't really tell about the singer yet just judging from his Kill Jr work, but I could see it working - he seems to be able to go from melodic to harsh, so he is probably versatile enough.

Soon, we'll be playing out. I will try to get some recordings with us performing with him.

We're ready to blow this shitty town apart. Glad people are liking it. Everything is always subject to change, obviously...but these are two of our older songs. The oldest is one that we ganked from an old project that three of us were in, but I don't have a recording of that on the computer, and the older version is much slower than the one we play now.

Any band that plays with a little bit of 'influence' on the side gets a plus in my book. Never saw the enticement of playing sober and relying on statesmanship alone to pull off the intention. When balanced right alcohol or other factors can only help musicians progress further.
